Area categories

A wide variety of approaches for classification of areas for protection and conservation of biodiversity exist. Drawing from different systems of categorisation, in this A-Z guide, we have grouped various areas of biodiversity importance into two broad categories, that are further subdivided into two sub-categories.

  • Protected areas
    • Internationally recognised
    • Nationally designated
  • Global prioritisation areas
    • Regional scale
    • Site scale
